Guess Today's Keywords

Life as I once knew it has returned now that Mercury is no longer Retrograde. I don't want to go through THAT cycle anytime soon. Now there's just one more thing in May, ok 2 more things, I can look forward to this month. Memorial Day and my Birthday.

My kids gave me my present already, although my birthday isn't until Tuesday.

It was an incredible card that says "Happy birthday Mom, the original survivor!" My kids wrote all over it. My 9 year old son, Mr. tough sports guy, even wrote "Mom, have a very splended birthday." Splendid? He knows that word?

So, turning 45 this year, on Tuesday, my birthday, shouldn't be terribly awful. The Atkins diet is doing wonders for me but I miss the local bakery. Hey! I guess this means that on my birthday, May 27th, next Tuesday, I can have cake!!!

In honor of myself and my birthday coming up I decided to make a Wish List at Cre8asite.net, one of the projects under development by the Cre8asiteForums gang.

And, for those wanting to surprise me on my birthday, there's also my Wish list in Amazon (Kimberly Krause, kimkrause@cre8pc.com). This is where I stuck all my usability book wishes - the ones that don't presently crowd my office.

Since I'm looking for a new house, preferably one with a pool, the kids bought me stuff for sunning on the deck by the pool, or at least the beach. All the presents had a theme, which is how my 13 year old daughter does things. Everything is well planned, examined and then presented a week before your real birthday because she loves gift giving and can't wait.

So, for my birthday, when I finally turn the ripe young age of 45, I'll likely be stuck in front of my computer testing websites or chatting in Cre8asiteForum or teaching something somewhere. This page is an example of optimized content for search engines for keywords pertaining to my birthday.

Think anyone will notice?
